PhpStorm 2019.2 unused element in Symfony controller

Question

I am using PhpStorm 2019.2 In the Symfony controller, methods are highlighted as not being used. Xdebug, then I get an error

I read on https://youtrack.jetbrains.com that this is possibly a bug, the new version of the IDE does not work correctly with annotations

Some Controller

class ContactController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * @Route("/contact", name="contact_view")
     * @return \Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response
     */
    public function contactView()
    {
        return $this->render('contact/contact.html.twig', [

        ]);
    }
}

At the moment, the class and its action are marked as unused in the controller, what should I do?

Answer 1

You can add your controllers and their actions as entry points. This way, those classes and methods will not be reported as dead code.

If your controllers are in src/Controller and your action methods have the -Action suffix, you can add these two rules as entry points in Settings| Editor | Inspections:

Class                    Member
/Controller/*Controller  *Action
/Controller/*Controller
